The federal consist of 2 subsidized and 2 unsubsized loans that are about 3.85%.

Additionally, this property is close to the airport so there is a lot of potential to turn it into an airbnb hub, leading to more cashflow and of course, more management/cleaning time.Long story short, would you take a deal with these parameters:- Asking price $165,000 (pre-MLS price) - Duplex consists of: 1 bedroom main floor and basement unit & 1 bedroom upstairs unit- Total rent: $1600/month (tenants pay utilities)Addendum: I just bought my first property with 11% down (before I found BP), so any suggestions (or links to forum posts/blog posts/podcasts) on creative ways to finance this deal, please let me know.Thanks BP community.

-I constructed my team to consist of the cream of the crop Property Management Team in Dallas, a partner that owns and operates 200M in Real Estate, and I moved to the city that I invest so that I can submerge myself in the market... super check.I don't think that the credibility and experience I've amassed is anything special, but I do think that it sufficient enough to entice warm traffic for a conversation about investing with us..By warm traffic I mean family and friends who have consistently asked that I let them know when I get a deal that they'd be able to participate in (and my goodness what a deal this is). 

We very much want to have consistency on our flips regardless of the materials.Like I said this is our first potential flip, so when I did the estimate I  used the higher end of what I thought it would cost.

With an increase of about 7% over last year in Denver (https://www.cpr.org/news/newsbeat/colorado-springs...) and no contraction in sight, scheduled rent increases should continue to multiply that $2,600 of mailbox money forever more, or at least until your portfolio review. 

But from I know about success is that it comes from consistency.

@Ethan Cooke From my experience, the most desirable and consistently booked properties in San Francisco are studios, 1, or 2 bedroom units.

Very interested in who is doing quality work, consistently and is investor friendly in Baltimore MD.  

I think either one works if you do it consistently.

I agree with @David Krulac - hopefully your property is in one of the 2% RTT areas rather than one of the 4% or 5% RTT areas.The imputed property value used to determine the RTT amount can be found by taking the tax assessed value from the tax assessor, and multiplying (or dividing) by the common leveling ratio that the PA Department of Revenue has posted at their website, for the year and month of the transfer (the values in their table change over time).Once you have that value, and the tax rate for that location, you can figure out how much this screw up cost you ;)
